Sinopsis.
Inspired by surrealist aesthetics and a poetic-documentary approach, the piece unfolds as a series of collective scenes that abstract the course of an ordinary day. Each scene is at once intimate and universal. Each gesture, a trace. Each routine, a language. Our methodology was based on a process of alienation and intensification of personal routines, through the creation of images and texts that allowed us to access the more silent dimensions of the everyday: thoughts, dreams, emotions that accompany the seemingly banal.
What influences how the body moves through space? Is it the objects that surround us, the relationships we maintain, or the paths we take? Six performers explore what defines their daily lives, recognize similarities and differences, and become more attentive to the small things that keep them moving.
Shifting the axis is the key. What do you see?
